In the Myth of the Cave as told in Plato’s Republic, a prisoner of the cave of illusions escapes and comes to know the true reality of the outside world and the heavens above, only to realize that he must make a return descent to enlighten his fellow humans — at the risk of sorrow and even death.

Socrates insists that the true philosopher and just statesman does not rest content in the bliss of ascended knowledge and harmony, but dares to live, think, teach, and struggle in the world of illusions, here and now.

Eschatological Optimism, the posthumous philosophical testimony of Daria Platonova Dugina, explores and develops this ancient idea amidst the overwhelming kaleidoscope of the cave of the modern world.

Engaging a vast spectrum of philosophical, theological, sociological, and literary perspectives, Dugina shows that the decision to decipher and face the illusions of our “reality” is only the beginning of an intellectual, existential, spiritual, and political journey which diverse thinkers, ancient and modern, have dared to undertake.

At once a philosophical theory, a hermeneutic lens, and a way of life, “Eschatological Optimism” is a watchword, orientation, and mission that inspires one to dare to know, live and die for the higher principles that forever shine through and beyond the cave.

Daria Platonova Dugina (1992-2022) was a Russian philosopher, journalist, political analyst, and artist. Dugina studied philosophy at Moscow State University and Bordeaux Montaigne University, specializing in Neoplatonism, and was an active member of the International Eurasian Movement. Her life was tragically cut short by a car bomb on the night of 20 August 2022. Eschatological Optimism is the first volume of Dugina’s posthumously collected works to appear in English.

  1. Undoubtedly, Elon Musk is correct to assert that some Jews push hatred against whites. We have a group in this country that has Jewish Zionists in it that helps to engender anti-British hatred here misleadingly called ‘Hope Not Hate’ who some other hard-left anti-British groups have fallen out with because the Zionists within it have a typical hypocrisy in that they won’t condem the anti-Palestinian hatred of the Zionist entity’s government or that of biased Zionist extremist bodies such as The Board of Deputies of British Jew Zionists.

    Ha, ha, it is funny to see Elon Musk say this when he has very unusual names one of which ie his first is Jewish though he isn’t ethnically Jewish.

    Jew Zionist extremists will find it a touch difficult even with all their money calling him nasty names etc like they do when he is by far the wealthiest person on the planet.

    A multi-billionare many times over can’t just afford a good libel lawyer but buy many libel lawyer firms to use to sue them for libel!

    I don’t always agree with him as does have some wacky views but, on the whole, I mostly do.

      1. Yes, I know. I have bought several books from there both new and used. It is a good place to buy them as you can often find qood quality used books as you say and quite a few are difficult to obtain elsewhere because they are old editions.

        The Elon Musk biography might not be there as a used book because it has only recently been released.

  2. Why would you care about that picture, Mr Adam Brooks? You are a libertarian loony as you showed during the pandemic. Libertarians hate the power of government and advocate a ‘small state’ regardless of whether that causes potential harm thus it follows that little things like proper immigration control are not important at all and who cares if a nation is destroyed and ethnically cleansed in the process because of its absence?

    Your ideological bedfellows are in government right now with that attitude.

    No wonder Border Force is actually Border FARCE under the libertarian globalist fake Conservative Party and no doubt has been starved of funding and sufficient staff just like the police have been for 13 years.

  3. Good for them marching though they should be in school. I wonder how many muslim voters will abandon the Zionist Labour Party (Likud 2) due to Sir Kid Starver’s fanatical obedience to his Zionist Pro Israel funders and backers?

    They turned away from Bliar’s war criminal party because of the Iraq War in 2003.

  4. Suella (I have just read she was given that first name after that Sue Ellen character in 1980’s US soap opera Dallas) Braverman is down and out but she might become the new leader of the Tory rump next year after their cataclysmic defeat.

    The latest poll puts them on 21% and as a result most Tory MPs will be booted out with even Rishi suffering a ‘Portillo moment’ and that would be the first time in HISTORY a PM has lost their own seat!

    The Tories will only retain a handful of seats and won’t even be the Official Opposition.

    Suella retains Fareham and my own MP in the tenth safest Tory seat in the country in Brentwood and Ongar stays this constituency’s MP.

    Suella’s majority in Fareham is huge but not as big as the 29,165 majority Brentwood and Ongar has.

  5. It is a shame Elon Musk is an American citizen and not a British one though he is of partial British descent. If he were a Brit he could use some of his utterly vast multi-billion fortune to fund a new anti-globalist and pro-British party perhaps it could be called Alternative for Britain like Germany’s nationalist/national-conservative Alternative Fuer Deutschland (Afd) party.

    This country is crying out for an alternative to anti-British Labour and fake Conservative alike. Under those two, Britain is going absolutely nowhere.

      Yes, and the few (in which group I include myself) who have both the wish and the overall ability to change society for the better via socio-political action have not the means, as things stand.

  6. The globalist, anti-British Conservative Party (Likud 1) has now recorded four successive opinion poll ratings of under 23%. This looks like becoming a trend! They may as well bring back ‘The Lettuce’, Liz Truss, and her exceptionally able at juggling money around Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng, to improve their popularity!
